summer Homes for Poor children.

As the Orphan Asylum needs some repairs,
especially in its sanitary arrangements, it
was suggested that the children of this insti-
tuition should have longer outing than
usual this season. 1t is good once in while
to clear out the dormitories where thirty or
forty children sleep the year round, and let
the pure winds of heaven sweep through
them night and day and cleanse the very
walls. In pursuance of this plan, COM
Portable home has been secured for them
twelve miles from the city, where they can
roam in the sweet fields, gather wayside
flowers and actually go berrying, pastoral
delight Of which these forlorn children have
never dreamed The place is provided with
the bare necessities of life; but if any citizen
has second hand croquet sets, even If incom-
plete, rubber balls, tent, hammock, swings,
or anything else which will contribute to the
happiness of these little ones, the managers
of the Asylum will be very grateful for the
gift of them. ANY article sent to the Asylum
on State and Danforth streets before the first
of June can be forwarded into the country
with the housekeeping goods.
